Barcelona's Neymar is overlooked as being one of the world's greatest playmakers and passers

It was tight. Valencia had built a brick wall between ball and goal, and the only way to get it to Luis Suarez was with a great deal of ingenuity.

Nine out of ten players wouldn't have thought about it, let alone pull it off. Neymar, and the outside of his foot, did.

The 24-year-old somehow found Suarez, whose subsequent shot did not do the set-up justice. If Mesut Ozil had done it, the footage would have taken over the Twittersphere. The same goes for Kevin De Bruyne. Likewise Lionel Messi.

Neymar did it during his 100th appearance for Barcelona in La Liga but this piece of perfect playmaking and passing was one of many.
